You cannot reason with this level of loony...

So, perusing the interwebs on this gloomy Saturday I ran across this:



I snipped off the actual conspiracy theory – but I am sure you can guess the substance of it - and contact details in case someone who can be conned stumbles across this post.

Where can you go with this? The mental gymnastics that are needed to decide that somehow Corona is the mark of the beast is a special kind of madness and zealotry. Apart from anything else – do the people that have come up with this very dangerous conspiracy, in which they seem to be actively discouraging people to take vaccine know that the common cold and seasonal flu are all corona? Does that mean that everyone who has a corona be the devil?!?! That is literally everyone – even the white pale stale far religious right cray cray that have gone all Q cause their white supremacy illiberal nasty is under threat – everyone on the planet has the 666 (unless you are in an undiscovered tribe somewhere).

Based on the logic of how they worked out the mark of the beast on this.
COVID-19 8 Characters
C 3
O 15
V 22
I 9
D 4
1 1
9 9

So, the real number based on the cray cray logic is 863, when Vikings were conducting raids, and worshipping the Norse gods that the far right love the iconography of today, so that makes perfect sense…. Hehehehehe *rolls eyes*

On a serious level though, how do we bring these people back? How do we make it OK for them to become survivors in the post trump era, rather than ongoing victims of it?

Don't come true, and they're ostracized in society, some of them may snap out of it. But since other characteristics seem to be bigotry and bullying some may just have to get old and feeble

He paid me $500 to smoke pot and $2,000 to turn gay.

Re-Pulicans want me to pay them.

Our DNA can be changed? Do we get to pick out our new DNA? Can we choose animal DNA?
Will the vaccine change our DNA? I’m hoping so, I want some great heart DNA, athletic DNA, little bit of Hawking-like DNA, boost to anti-aging DNA, while I’m at it some gazelle DNA that will let me be fast and nimble.

And some DNA that evaporates stupid that is headed my way. Can’t deal with it much longer.
